I like water sports, but the missuse thinks that's just weird.
I love Surfing, and when on land I love riding my motorbike, both give you that sense of freedom and rush that bikers and surfers will understand.
I use the word love a lot too, with men it's more a chest bump or twin fist bump love, with girls it's... well the same but with lube.
I am a biker and a surfer, like you have not got that by now and the with the former I have owned more than I care to to remember, i can't seem to find the one I want, or when I do I then fancy something else. It is an issue, I know it is.
Nope, I am not a millionaire, I work very hard and have to save up for these toys, like most everyone else out there, Sports bikes, well a lot of bikes can be got cheap as chips.
Keep it real peeps and ride safe, oh! I love you all x
I’m thinking of getting one of these my last bike was a BMW S1000R so I’m a little worried about the power delivery I’ve been riding years so know it’s going to be much slower. How is it day to day overtaking etc. I will use it for commuting about 25miles on Norfolk country roads
I have owned a 900 Tracer 2015 for some months now. It has an irritating whining noise in some gears- specifically in top gear at cruising speeds of round 60 mph(100kph)- seemingly a common problem. This disappears at about 70mph(115kph) which is illegal in New Zealand. Something to do with square cut gears and not fixable
When I'm driving DRIVING, riding.. made me smile. I'm glad you didn't edit that out😊 and all the corrections you made to yourself. Very good. The review helped me to decide on buying my own tracer 900. Thank you.👍😉
Wow, more than 50 videos about how fantastic the Tracer is and not one saying that Yamaha should drop its face in shame for making a dangerous bike from 140, the steering vibrates and the jolts are unbearable, not to mention that when it's hot The motorcycle does not start, or stalls. Several colleagues have changed swingarms, others have spent thousands of euros to improve their suspensions, the reality is a dangerous motorcycle and NOBODY SAYS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, what a shame
I really did find that a good move for me, the CBR was great, but I did enjoy the tracer a lot more so was happy with the change. Ps you have a great channel
I considerd the tracer and ended up with a mt09 2020 model , however I know I’m going to miss the 18ltr tank 😂will doing a review on the mt09 soon gazworld🌍ru-vid.com/show-UCRAt-Q8Jq8nrxg_bdQzeUOg
Stigma ? Unfortunately we have a bad habit in the U.K. of jealousy and stereotyping people where bikes and cars are concerned , I’ve had every bike imaginable, including Harley’s and BM’s (including GS’s ) loved them all 👌🏻😎 nice review 👍🏻
Good acceleration from 59-60mph there! I found that out when I "tested" my newly bought 2019 model, it went, quicker than I expected it to. Coming from a 650 Vulcan I was a little suprised and I was going along for the ride and I realised what the bike was truly capable of, very quickly! What a brilliant bike the Tracer is, great handling, fantastic engine, very good fuel economy and pretty comfortable too. I think the screen will be upgraded eventually but I can live with that for now. I reckon its hard to buy a bad bike these days and you could do a lot worse than the Tracer. Well happy with mine.
hi sir, one question, with this ermax windshield, and seems like you are wearing dual sport helmet with a beak, how was the riding experience? any issue on top of your helmet?
For me with the touring adventure bike. I always change the handguards to a slimmer streamline ones. They are the reason for the slight wobble in high speed.
Thanks for the review, i'm considering one of these as my first nice bike as i'm on a clapped out bandit 600 i pickup up to cover as a first big bike. Also lovely to see some local roads on a review. are you still out riding ? as i notice this is a 5 year old video now.
Hi Mark, your very welcome, thank you for watching it. I hope you are well mate, Yeah I'm still out and about well not so much with the lockdown and dam snow, I now have the CRF1000 Africa twin, the tracer was a great bike and a sweet engine, but I traded it in for the Honda. I'm from the Cas area so I guess your from around about here. Nothing wrong with the good old Bandit, I once craved for one.
@@SurfPilot Aye i'm over in the East Leeds area so not far off and have been known to have a wander to squires for a brew and a chin wag. I'm fairly new and late into biking but just trying to find my feet at the moment on what i like, I learnt on the SV650 (which i really enjoyed) over at XS towards yourself. I got the Bandit which is good but its a '96 and its on that knife edge of either needing a full strip and a rebuild, which i'm not sure i want to sink that sort of cash/time into. But we'll see what this new year brings ... hopefully abit more biking and less covid and snow.
Just been going through your vids on your bikes and enjoying them as we both have the bikes we want at the time. Tour of Scotland videography super duper, but you have stopped . Look forward to more, probably with another bike you love. All that said with a north east accent, retired to France as I am older on a recently acquired 2013GS and a 2002Wing!!! Had away man give us some more.
Hey up there, or should I say " wey aye man" thanks for the great comment, its nice to see people watch the vids, I really do need to upload more, but I always seem to lose time. you have 2 great bikes there a GS and Wing, I would love to own a wing someday. Seriously "its canny thy stopped by like" thanks for the comment it makes doing the vids seem worthwhile when someone watches them and comments.
I'm looking at one of these. I've a Mille 1000 and bought a CBF500 as a second bike, and I my eyes nearly glaze over with boredom so I'm getting shot that and joining my mate of his CRF250M on the back roads.
Great video, bang on with information for people like me who just need some honesty and no bullshit. Feedback about suspension adjustment makes sense listening to a few other reports. Its definitely the favourite for me to upgrade to. Just to tell the good lady now😉.
Looks like the front tyre has been put on backward! The grooves are pointing the wrong way. They'll push rain water towards the centre of the tyre which will increase the likelihood of aquaplaning in heavy rain. The rear tyre has been installed correctly. Other than that, it looks a great bike for the money. My next bike might well be a Tracer 900 GT :)
I saw you on Viper6, wanted to pop over and check out your channel. I ride a Ducati 1100s hyper, fly a Mavic Mini, and have family in Scotland. I've not been yet but hope to go one day. -John in Tn, USA

Hi, I think of going from Switzerland to Iran on my 2015 crf250m supermoto. Looking for recommendation for tyres that would do OK also on gravel/bit off-road? Any help? Much appreciated Cheers
